The squirrels love to hang out at our house. We’ve got many bird feeders, and the squirrels are happy to feast on what falls to the ground. Sometimes there are twice as many squirrels as this, out there. This whole area you see is going to be a beautiful bird sanctuary, when we get that far with our plans at the homestead here. We get LOTS of birds every day, and all kinds too. We love to watch the birds the most. If they only knew what a paradise we have planned for them. No doubt, the squirrels will stay too.
The kids know some of these squirrels from the others. A few even have names. We have outsmarted all but one, from getting up into our bird feeders. We don’t mind them around, but THAT is unacceptable behavior. And they know it. Only one manages to get up into one of the bird feeders, now and then. But he doesn’t enjoy his victory for long, as one of the kids always spots him, and someone is out there reprimanding.
We do love to watch their antics. They can be pretty funny sometimes.
That’s all for now. The next Christmas Craft is coming up! I’ve just been busy today with a little work. Even had a little quiet time to work today, after school and lunch, while the kids were at the youth center with Daddy ‘shootin’ hoops’. I accomplished quite a bit! But now it’s time for a good night’s sleep!
Hi Dawn!
— Yes, and there’s often twice that many out there! You can ‘hear’ them. But I’d sure like to see a red squirrel out there sometime, as you get!
Let me know if you’d like any of photos sent. Not sure if they apply to your study with your boys, but the offer is there. Thanks for the visit and the comment!
Yowza, Laura – that’s a LOT of squirrels! Wonderful pictures!
Christine
– Welcome to our blog!! I’ll have to take a photo for you when there is twice that many out there. Clearly, our house is ‘THE place to be!’.Food is a powerful thing. lol

– My bag is right next to me right now, and it has NOTHING in it. I only use it when I have MORE I need to bring with me. Like to consults with clients, to all day outings, when I need to bring my make-up, etc. Otherwise, the little things get stuffed into my jacket pockets.
I AM going to blog about this bag soon I hope though. It ROCKS. Just waiting on my personal ‘bag designer’.
Regan
– Their real. You all should be afraid of me if I had this many stuffed squirrels. lol
Like birds….I think photos of such creatures look unreal, because they are STILL in the photo. They are never still in real life, to really see the details of their beauty.
I can’t believe your cat caught a squirrel! Squirrels are so fast, but I guess your cat is faster!
That is funny! I have never seen so many in my life!
Great pictures. Oh, and the purse/tote meme? Yes, you take a “right now” picture of yourself and your purse, and post it, with description of course…..
how cute….they don’t even look real, though. i know sometimes when i photograph birds, they look fake, so perfect and wonderful, wow and they are all supposed to have made themselves! so silly.
our male cat actually caught a squirrel one day and brought is to the front porch, luckily the little fellow got away, it was carrying on, chirping, and the boys were not happy, but it sure got the better of that pompous fat cat!
i guess i’ll TOLERATE your craft posts, you know how i detest crafts………………
